Definitions

  • the present invention lies in the telecommunications field. More specifically, the present invention relates to a data transmission method in which the data to be transmitted are divided into a plurality of subchannels and are transmitted in different frequency bands arranged with frequency spacings between one another.
  • ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, ANSI TI 413-1995.
  • the frequency spacings of the individual subchannels are divided equidistantly, beginning from the value zero. Further, they have a frequency spacing of above 1/T, where 1/T denotes the so-called modulation rate and T is the symbol duration of the data transmission system, that is, for example, the bit duration.
  • the number of subchannels is predetermined by a power of 2 in such data transmission methods, then at the transmission end and also at the reception end, it is possible to use an IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transformation) and an FFT (Fast Fourier Transformation) algorithm for the filtering. Particularly when there are a large number of subchannels, the use of these transforms allow for a considerable reduction in operations to be performed, such as, in particular, multiplications.
  • IFFT Inverse Fast Fourier Transformation
  • FFT Fast Fourier Transformation
  • German published patent application DE 195 28 068 describes a data transmission method with a plurality of carrier oscillations, in which data signals are transmitted according to the multifrequency QAM principle. In that process a defined number of successive data bits are respectively subdivided at the transmission end into a plurality of N bit groups. The latter are sampled in a time frame corresponding to the modulation rate fT of the data signals. Amplitude values are then obtained from the samples and used to modulate in each case one of two orthogonal carrier oscillations of the same frequency which are assigned to the N bit groups. In this case—as is customary—the frequency spacing of adjacent carrier oscillations is defined to be in each case equidistant and smaller than the modulation rate.
  • the resultant signals are then superposed additively to form a carrier oscillation mixture to be transmitted.
  • the transmitted carrier oscillation mixture is first filtered selectively for the individual N bit groups. After sampling in that time frame, the data bits belonging to the N bit groups are recovered.
  • the prior art data transmission method in which the subchannels are arranged equidistantly but with a spacing of below 1/T can only be used in very low-noise channels.
  • a data transmission method which comprises:
  • the data to be transmitted are divided into a plurality of subchannels and are transmitted in different frequency bands which are arranged with frequency spacings between one another that are chosen such that they are individually non-equidistant.
  • An error signal is generated at the reception end for each subchannel both for the normal path and for the quadrature path and the error signal is fed to a corresponding reception filter.
  • the frequency bands are no longer arranged equidistantly but rather are chosen individually.
  • the first frequency band may begin at any desired lower cut-off frequency.
  • the data transmission method according to the invention is suitable in a particularly advantageous manner for so-called VDSL (Very high bitrate Digital Subscriber Line) transmission systems, by which data are transmitted in the speed range of approximately 30 Mbit/s in the subscriber loop over a distance of at most approximately 500 to 1000 m.
  • VDSL Very high bitrate Digital Subscriber Line
  • the method according to the invention allows optimal adaptation to extremely varied requirements with regard to the utilization of a frequency range.
  • the outlay for transmitter and receiver is dependent only on the data rate, the number of subchannels and the sampling frequency, which is greater than twice the upper cut-off frequency of the transmission system, and not on the individual position of the individual subbands.
  • the data transmission method according to the invention it is readily possible to provide “gaps”, as required, in an entire useful range of the transmission system. In this way, it is possible to reliably prevent reciprocal influencing for example with amateur radio bands. It is also possible, as already explained, to define the first frequency band, in accordance with the practical requirements, above channels that may be present and are utilized for a different purpose, for example a voice channel up to approximately 4 kHz, an ISDN basic access channel up to approximately 100 to 150 kHz.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of circuit configuration for a multifrequency transmission system for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of a receiver structure of a multifrequency transmission system with adaptively adjustable filter coefficients.
  • FIG. 1 there is seen a fundamental circuit design for the transmitter and the receiver of a multichannel transmission system in which the method according to the invention can be employed.
  • the filter pairs g i (N) and g i (Q) are thereby provided at the transmitter end, while the filter pairs h i (N) , h i (Q) are located at the receiver end.
  • the index i 1,2, . . . M.
  • Pairs of values a 1 (k), b 1 (k) and respectively a 2 (k), b 2 (k), . . . , a M (k), b M (k) are fed to the transmission filter pairs g i (N) , g i (Q) , in order to obtain samples which, for their part, are summed in summers 1 and 2 , respectively, and fed to a digital/analog converter 3 .
  • a transmission channel 4 connects the digital/analog converter 3 at the transmitter end to an analog/digital converter 5 at the receiver end.
  • reception filters provide corresponding samples which are then fed to decision circuits 6 , as described, for example, in the above-mentioned German application DE-A-195 28 068.
  • the transmission filters g i (N) , g i (Q) are dimensioned in such a way that a predetermined frequency range is utilized optimally. This is effected in that the frequency spacings of the individual subfilters are no longer divided equidistantly over the entire available frequency range.
  • the first frequency band may be placed, in accordance with the practical requirements, above channels that may be present and are utilized for a different purpose, for example a voice channel up to approximately 4 kHz, an ISDN basic access channel up to approximately 100 to 150 kHz.
  • the reception section can be extended in such a way that across each decision circuit 6 for each subchannel, an error signal is generated both for the normal path (cf. FIG. 2) and for the quadrature path.
  • the coefficients of the reception filters hi can be adjusted automatically during the transmission of digital signals. This is important particularly when the method according to the invention is used in transmission systems in which the properties of the transmission channel 4 are not completely known.
  • the least square error criterion for example, can be used for the adaptive adjustment of the reception filter coefficients (see, for example, H. Schenk: Entthan von Sendeund Empfangsfiltern fur den in digitalen Modems [Design of Transmission and Reception Filters for Use in Digital Modems], AEÜ, Vol. 33, Issue 11, 1979, pages 425-31). This makes it possible to determine subfilters which are optimally adapted to the transmission channel and the individual frequency bands.
  • the error signal tapped off across the individual decision circuits 6 is fed to the respective reception filters by the corresponding error elements 7 .
  • the reception filters determine the corresponding filter coefficients with the aid of suitable adaptation algorithms. This is readily possible given suitable dimensioning of the transmission filters in which the precise position of the individual frequency bands is defined.
